Cloud Services free you from the constant upgrade life-cycle and reduce “spikey” CapEx spending while giving you the ability to scale to meet demands.

Cloud platforms at Claranet

Shared cloud platforms

Shared or multi-tenant cloud platforms provide you with a highly standardised cloud service. Many customers share a common cloud infrastructure, and in some cases application, that has been optimised by Claranet working in close partnership with the world's largest technology vendors.

You benefit from the economies of scale we achieve while also getting the level of service and expertise you require in the UK. We also layer our managed service over standard services from global technology vendors such as Symantec and Amazon.

Dedicated cloud platforms

Dedicated cloud platforms provide you with a standardised cloud service with more flexibility than a shared cloud platform. Dedicated cloud platforms are often used when customers require greater management or integration flexibility or the number of users of a service means a lower relative cost can be achieved.

Although some elements of the cloud infrastructure may be shared, your service will provide dedicated resources just for your business with a high degree of tailoring to your requirements. Like the shared cloud platform, you benefit from the economies of scale we achieve while also getting the level of service and expertise you require in the UK.
